Hours With The New Layton Great Writing, Weak Puzzles. Professor Layton is back Well, its actually his daughter Katrielle this time around. But other than that, Laytons Mystery Journey is the return of everybodys favorite London based puzzle adventure game series. Here are my first impressions, about 5 hours in. Mystery Journey is available for i. OS and Android today, with a 3. DS version coming to America later this year. First things first If youve played any of the six previous games in the series, you know almost exactly what to expect. Development studio Level 5 has made no substantial changes to the Layton loop. You explore London by pointing and clicking, talk to the wacky residents of the town to solve a good wacky mystery, and discover a couple hundred logic puzzles along the way. Unlike her dad, Katrielle Layton isnt a professor of archaeology who dabbles in solving mysteries shes actually a detective by profession. This shift from avocation to vocation brings with it a slight change in the flow of the game. Rather than solving one massive mystery that takes the cast all over the world, Katrielle solves a series of smaller mysteries brought to her by her London clients a missing cat, a stolen piece of a movies film reel, et cetera. Although it initially seems like theres going to be some Phoenix Wright style detective work that you have to do to solve each mystery, it turns out that the mysteries solve themselves as you walk through the story, just as long as you solve the required logic puzzles along the way. So far, anywayIm about three and a half mysteries deep into the games dozen stories. The gameplay, then, revolves entirely around poking at the various pieces of scenery to find puzzles, then solving them. You also occasionally find coins that you can redeem for hints when youre stuck. The puzzles are mostly unconnected to the plot of the game, and if youve ever perused a book of pencil and paper logic puzzles, youll have encountered many of them before. Magic squares, moving matchsticks, algebra word problems, lateral thinking puzzles, c. Ive solved around 5. Layton puzzles are at their strongest when theyre about lateral thinkingyou ponder the wording of a puzzle or the arrangement of a mysterious picture until you get that a ha So far there hasnt been much of that in Mystery Journey. The puzzles Ive solved have involved a lot of rearranging shapes, plotting out pathways, and other sorts of play with the pieces puzzles. Theyre already starting to get repetitive. Some of the logic puzzles are so ridiculously easy I wouldnt even call them puzzles. One puzzle is written in such a way that there are two viable solutions, but the game only recognizes one of them as being correct. It could be because Ive already played six Layton games plus the Phoenix Wright crossover, but Im not impressed by the puzzling so far. It all just feels a little loose and sloppy, a little underwhelming. The script is a high point. While those previous Laytons were localized by Nintendo, this one was handled by Level 5 itself, and specifically by noted translator Richard Honeywood, who did Ni no Kuni and various Dragon Quest titles. If youve played those, youll find Mystery Journeys rich British accents and wordplay heavy comedy quite familiar. The writing is playful and funny, and the characters all have distinct ways of expressing themselves that clearly define their personalities. The only drawback is that Honeywood seems to be in a Worst Pun contest with himself as regards the characters names. An independent filmmaker is named Maverick D. Rector. His editors name is Eddie Torre. And the projectionist who shows the picture is Seymore Frames. The new characters provide a nice refreshing break from the continued and continued and continued adventures of Professor Layton and his sidekick Luke, who were getting a bit long in the tooth and the tophat by their seventh outing. In their place, we have food obsessed savant Katrielle, her hopelessly in love assistant Ernest, and their talking dog Sherl. That is short for Sherl O. C. Kholmes. I am not making that up. In case you do miss Layton the elder, theres actually a top hat costume that you can dress Kat up in, as well as a variety of other costumes. This is the key difference between the mobile game and the eventual 3. DS version While the 3. DS game will cost more and be content complete, the mobile game costs 1. You can buy them for 1. Otherwise, though, youre getting the whole game for sixteen bucks. The mobile phone version pretty much feels like they took a 3. DS game and hacked it onto a phone. Wonderful Rainbow Lightning Bolt Rar. You play vertically, with the phone screen split in two the non touchable dialogue and scenery at the top and the touch screen at the bottom, as if it were a 3. DS layout. You drag your finger around the bottom of the screen to move the magnifying glass at the top, sort of like using a touchpad and a mouse cursor, rather than directly tapping on the objects of interest. On the one hand, its nice having the unaltered 3. DS version on your phone because you know youre getting the same experience on mobile as you always had on Nintendo platforms. On the other, theres some weird kludgey stuff theyve done to make it work. For example, when one of the games many fully animated video scenes starts playing, you have to rotate your phone horizontally to watch it. You can set it to play the videos vertically, but then theyre displayed in full widescreen format on about one quarter of your phones screen. You also have to manually save the game, which is not typical of mobile games. Dont forget to save before you swipe up Level 5 says the 3. DS version will arrive as soon as October, meaning the release date isnt set yet. I would have to imagine that playing Mystery Journey on the 3. DS will be a more comfortable experience. Moving puzzle pieces around with a stylus is more pleasing than using ones finger, and the graphics seem like they were designed for 3. DS and moved to mobile afterwards. But then again, if you get the mobile version you can have it now, and for much less money up front. What to do, what to do Which version to get This is perhaps the greatest of Mystery Journeys puzzles. Ive only had a few days with the game, and will need more time to form a more comprehensive opinion of it. For now I enjoy the story and the writing, but am ambivalent about the puzzles. And smartphone or no, its a real Layton game no matter which way you slice it.
